PPE Society

The Policy, Politics and Economics society is not just for those on the BA PPE course. It is for anyone related to any of the three disciplines or even if you just have an interest. It is about bringing people of different years together to academically support one another throughout university, while also socialising outside of the academic to ensure all members receive a well-rounded university experience. We run a variety of social events such as bar crawls, mini golf, balls and cocktail evenings while also holding academic events and group study sessions. We understand the struggles of an interdisciplinary degree and want to share the knowledge each of us gains between year groups. We aim to run regular study sessions, some general and some tailored to specific year groups, to support the academic side of university and so everyone gets the help they need.

For a direct point of contact we have a PPE specific course canvas page, with information posted both about the society and the course in general by the course coordinator. We are also very active on social media as a society, with an Instagram and Facebook page. You should be able to find out about the society further on these pages or send us a message with any questions you may have.

We are organising a buddy system to help society members to meet each other across all year groups. We believe this is a great way to share advice and resources while also creating a community environment for our members. We have also set up a LinkedIn page for professionals who have studied a PPE degree or similar to allow students to explore possible career paths and connect with alumni.

We want to further support members by offering the support of a welfare secretary. They will be on hand to help you navigate both your transition into university and the challenges of the degree programme.

Overall, the society aims to support members and provide them with the opportunities to have a fulfilled university experience.

Feel free to drop us a message and we'll get back to you!!
